You haven't told us what host computer you are using.  It does at least
appear to be some flavor of Unix.  If it is HP-UX, we don't officially
support PostScript printing via the spooler yet.

You at least need a "-oraw" option to the spooler, and you may also need
to modify the spooler to suppress transmission of some printer control
stuff like <ESC>E hard resets, which probably confuse PostScript.

If the printer is hooked up via serial, you might might try hooking the
cable to an HP terminal, and watch the link traffic with DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
enable to may the control characters visible.
